Not
open
to
the
public!!
Well,
if
you
book
ahead,
you
can
plan
your
industries
next
convention,
plan
your
wedding,
or
even
have
an
open
wine
convention!
This
is
among
the
best
places
in
France
for
any
event
that's
under
1000
people.
Pricing
depends
on
what
rooms
you
use
ranging
from
1500-5000k.
The
real
savings
come
from
not
having
to
pay
the
Paris
tax.
Your
guests
will
find
accommodations
and
everything
they
need
for
a
fraction
of
th
price
but
the
full
French
experience.
This
beauty
of
a
building
(in
and
out)
functions
both
as
a
public
convention
center
:
job
and
university
fairs,
industry
fairs
(medical
devices,
even
book
swaps!
Adult
cartoon
collectors,
etc.
Mostly
aimed
at
attracting
public
interest.)
Their
industry
tradeshows
attract
higher
end
products
and
services:
(i.e
traditional
local
restaurateurs,
whiskey,
energy,
jewelers,
fancy
concerts
etc.)
TedxLyon
has
expanded
greatly
since
the
first
Ted
talks
back
in
1984.
Tech
companies
are
drawn
to
the
unique
space;
Google
Enterprise
and
the
Euro-centric
DINO
are
both
annual
attendees
(2020
excluded).
I've
been
in
this
building
twice
in
my
8
years
in
France:
both
times,
the
building
itself
was
more
interesting
and
fascinating
than
the
events
themselves.
Not
to
denigrate
the
events!
I'm
just
being
real,
this
place
is
stunning
and
has
been
maintained
to
perfection.
"Renaissance
Revival
architecture"
from
the
19th
century
brought
the
amazing
sculpted
walls,
gold
and
stained
glass
ceilings,
marble
etc.
For
the
fixed
rate
mentioned
above,
your
event
goers
will
be
in
the
halls
that
16th
century
aristocrats
or
new
world
merchants
made
deals.
This
place
being
a
stock
exchange
is
crazy:
there's
more
precious
metals
and
stones
decorating
the
place
than
many
banks
actually
have
on
hand!
This
was
built
right
before
the
industrial
revolution
really
began
to
beat
the
"profits
above
everything/anyone"
mantra
into
everyone
businessman
skull.
A
stunning
piece
of
art
no
matter
where
you
look
*without*
the
staggering
death
tolls
of
the
17th
century:
if
you
get
the
chance,
highly
HIGHLY
RECOMMEND.
